"He didn't look all that excited" - NFL fans react to Jaguars picking Travon Walker with first overall pick of 2022 draft

The 2022 NFL draft is officially underway, and the Jacksonville Jaguars used their first overall pick on Georgia defensive end Travon Walker.

Walker's draft stock and value rose following his impressive combine performance. Before the combine, Walker wasn't even considered a first-round pick. In his three-year career at Georgia, he's recorded 9.5 sacks with a career-high six sacks last season, 65 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and four pass deflections. Those numbers are underwhelming for somebody expected to be selected number one overall.

While Walker doesn't have the most eye-popping stats, especially for a number-one overall pick, his combine measurements are what raised scouts and GMs' eyebrows.

Walker measures at 6'5", 272 pounds, and ran a 4.51-second 40-yard dash while posting a 35½-inch vertical and a 123-inch broad jump. He showed his agility, recording a 6.89-second three-cone drill and a 4.32-second short shuttle.

This is the second-straight year the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected number one overall, selecting quarterback Trevor Lawrence number-one in the 2021 NFL draft.

Of the last 12 players the Jaguars have drafted in the first round in the last ten years, only two of them have been selected to the Pro Bowl (Jalen Ramsey and Josh Allen). Ramsey, the only one to make the All-Pro team, isn't even a member of the Jaguars anymore.

Fans had mixed reactions to Walker's initial reaction upon being drafted

Twitter user @Haunted_Haunter thinks that Walker didn't look excited when he was drafted.

Jaguars fan @jwaters_8 is sick of the Jaguars. He believes that they drafted Walker based on hopes and passed up a player (Hutchinson) with stats.

Another user @Swavey_hector thinks Trevon Walker is going to be a bust for the Jaguars.

User @Parkwood09 believes this is why the Jaguars suck because they should have drafted an offensive lineman to protect quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Another Twitter user @BuckybadgerW1 isn't hating on Walker, but he thinks Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux should have been drafted ahead of him.

User @Riedmillahhh believes that Walker's combine performance helped get him to be drafted number-one overall.

@BarnaudsBlitz thinks Walker is an incoming bust.

@JagerDePato seems to like the pick of Walker going number-one overall.

@ChicagoxRillaa thinks Walker deserved to go number-one overall.

@xJTizzle_ believes this is the fastest climb ever for a prospect in the draft that's a non-quarterback.

@poiszg23 is laughing because he thinks the Jags drafted the third-best player on defense.

While many people have their questions about this pick, Walker will have every chance to prove he is worth the Jaguars' trust.

Jacksonville will pick first tomorrow night as well, and could target a wide receiver, offensive lineman, or linebacker.
